STORYLINE
A new study suggests that the AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus entered the United States via Haiti, as early as 1969, probably brought in by one person.
Michael Worobey of the University of Arizona, on Tuesday explained the importance of the study, "The emergence of HIV/AIDS in the Americas and beyond," which he co-wrote.
"What we've done is shed some light on how HIV emerged out of Africa where we think it came from," Worobey said, saying Haiti was the stepping stone.
"And we put some time estimates on when those events occurred, which help us understand the pace and geographic nature of the spread of one of the most important human pandemics."

a recorded interview on TurnSpeak featuring Dr. PeterDuesberg, author of "Inventing the AIDS Virus." Duesberg discusses what he calls the "conspiracy of self-interest" that keeps the faulty HIV=AIDS hypothesis alive, why Gallo and others could never admit to making a mistake, the scientific reasons why HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS and AIDS is not a contagious disease, the ridiculous logic used in the Kimberly Bergalis/Dr. Acer case, and what happened with Brian Ellison about the publishing of "Inventing The AIDS Virus." Duesberg also gives a fascinating description about how science in America has become totally centralized and "communistic," and a brief discourse on his current research in finding the cause of cancer.

In 2009, Montagnier published two controversial research studies that some homeopaths claimed as support for homeopathy. Although Montagnier disputed any such support, many scientists greeted his claims with scorn and harsh criticism.

History of the discovery of HIV

In 1982, Willy Rozenbaum, a clinician at the Hôpital Bichat hospital in Paris, asked Montagnier for assistance in establishing the cause of a mysterious new syndrome, AIDS (known at the time as "Gay-related immune deficiency" or GRID). Rozenbaum had suggested at scientific meetings that the cause of the disease might be a retrovirus. Montagnier and members of his group at the Pasteur Institute, notably including Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Jean-Claude Chermann, had extensive experience with retroviruses. Montagnier and his team examined samples taken from Rozenbaum's AIDS patients and found the virus that would later become known as HIV in a lymph nodebiopsy. They named it "lymphadenopathy-associated virus," or LAV, since it was not yet clear that it was the cause of AIDS, and published their findings in the journal Science in 1983.

Port-au-Prince

Port-au-Prince (/ˌpɔːrtoʊˈprɪns/; French pronunciation:​[pɔʁopʁɛ̃s]; Haitian Creole:Pòtoprens) is the capital and largest city of the Caribbean country of Haiti. The city's population was estimated at 987,310 in 2015 with the metropolitan area (aire métropolitaine) estimated at a population of 2,618,894. The metropolitan area is defined by the IHSI as including the communes of Port-au-Prince, Delmas, Cite Soleil, Tabarre, Carrefour, and Pétionville.

The city of Port-au-Prince is on the Gulf of Gonâve: the bay on which the city lies, which acts as a natural harbor, has sustained economic activity since the civilizations of the Arawaks. It was first incorporated under the colonial rule of the French, in 1749. The city's layout is similar to that of an amphitheatre; commercial districts are near the water, while residential neighborhoods are located on the hills above. Its population is difficult to ascertain due to the rapid growth of slums in the hillsides above the city; however, recent estimates place the metropolitan area's population at around 3.7 million, nearly half of the country's national population.

The university comprises 17 colleges that offer more than 150 programs of study. Additionally, the university operates an extension that serves 2.7 million registrants per year around the state of Illinois and beyond. The campus holds 647 buildings on 4,552 acres (1,842ha) in the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana (together known as Champaign–Urbana); its annual operating budget in 2011 was over $1.7 billion.

Peter Duesberg - Inventing The AID$ Virus

a recorded interview on TurnSpeak featuring Dr. PeterDuesberg, author of "Inventing the AIDS Virus." Duesberg discusses what he calls the "conspiracy of self-interest" that keeps the faulty HIV=AIDS hypothesis alive, why Gallo and others could never admit to making a mistake, the scientific reasons why HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS and AIDS is not a contagious disease, the ridiculous logic used in the Kimberly Bergalis/Dr. Acer case, and what happened with Brian Ellison about the publishing of "Inventing The AIDS Virus." Duesberg also gives a fascinating description about how science in America has become totally centralized and "communistic," and a brief discourse on his current research in finding the cause of cancer.

Intv with one of the two scientists who discovered HIV/AIDS virus

1. Wide shot through window of Paris with Eiffel Tower, pan to ProfessorLuc Montagnier sitting at desk
2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the WorldFoundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"Now we have efficient treatments to reduce the multiplication levels, and this is a good and very important achievement, ten years ago starting in 1996. And now I would say most of the patients infected with HIV in the developed world have access to this kind of treatment, which is a combination of two or three drugs which act on a different side of the virus multiplication. But unfortunately there is some kind of reservoir virus which is not sensitive to this kind of treatment."
3. Photographs of Professor Montagnier with various celebrities
4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"So the problem now is to find some other kind of treatment which could also increase the restoration of the immune system, so that the virus will be controlled itself by the immune system. That's not the case right now, but this is the hope we can achieve that within a few years."
5. Cutaway of books on shelf
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"I think we should still do more research on the disease and the virus. Of course we know a lot on the virus, we know a little less on how the virus can cause the disease which is a very complex situation. It takes years actually for the virus to destroy the immune system. So I think there are some forms of the virus which escape the immune system and also will escape the vaccination, the vaccine. So we have to understand more (about) all the forms of the virus."
7. Cutaway wide
8. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"So my own feeling is that we should go step by step, and the first step will be to design a therapeutic vaccine. A vaccine which could be given to people already infected, treated by the combination therapy. Having an immune system sufficiently restored to respond to the vaccination, and the vaccination will have the effect to boost the immune system against the virus."
9. Wide shot Professor Montagnier at his desk
10. SOUNDBITE: (French) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and president of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"We also see the epidemic developing in a worrying way in Eastern Europe countries, in Ukraine and in Russia. It is also worrying. There is also China. And the most populated countries of Asia, India, China are unfortunately important reservoirs for the epidemic in the future. So we can't be satisfied and reassured because of the little slow down we see today. On the contrary we must continue informing the new generations, educating young people, try to make women avoid the infection by their partners especially in developing countries. That means progress on the economical level, on standards of living and on the homogenisation of the world economy, which is not the case now. We see some countries richer and richer and countries poorer and poorer."
11. Mid shot Professor Montagnier sitting behind desk
STORYLINE:
The French co-discover of the HIV virus, Professor Luc Montagnier, on Monday said recent achievements in the treatment of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) should not make people complacent about the very real danger of the disease.

The HIV virus is housed inside a protective shell called a capsid. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to creating truly effective therapies to combat the virus is that no one knows the exact structure of the HIV capsid. Until now. Researchers Klaus Schulten and JuanPerilla at the University of Illinois have successfully used the power of one of the fastest supercomputers in the world to create a detailed molecular map of the HIV-1 capsid.
The study offers a first look at the structure of the HIV capsid in 8 Angstrom resolution and offers a basis for research into new pharmacological interventions that could disrupt the capsid function and perhaps derail the virus's ability to infect cells.
The researchers were able to combine experimental results from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, ele...

Peter Duesberg - Inventing The AID$ Virus

a recorded interview on TurnSpeak featuring Dr. PeterDuesberg, author of "Inventing the AIDS Virus." Duesberg discusses what he calls the "conspiracy of self-interest" that keeps the faulty HIV=AIDS hypothesis alive, why Gallo and others could never admit to making a mistake, the scientific reasons why HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS and AIDS is not a contagious disease, the ridiculous logic used in the Kimberly Bergalis/Dr. Acer case, and what happened with Brian Ellison about the publishing of "Inventing The AIDS Virus." Duesberg also gives a fascinating description about how science in America has become totally centralized and "communistic," and a brief discourse on his current research in finding the cause of cancer.

Targeting the HIV Virus: Researchers Use Supercomputer to Solve the Structure of the HIV-1 Capsid

a recorded interview on TurnSpeak featuring Dr. PeterDuesberg, author of "Inventing the AIDS Virus." Duesberg discusses what he calls the "conspiracy of self-interest" that keeps the faulty HIV=AIDS hypothesis alive, why Gallo and others could never admit to making a mistake, the scientific reasons why HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS and AIDS is not a contagious disease, the ridiculous logic used in the Kimberly Bergalis/Dr. Acer case, and what happened with Brian Ellison about the publishing of "Inventing The AIDS Virus." Duesberg also gives a fascinating description about how science in America has become totally centralized and "communistic," and a brief discourse on his current research in finding the cause of cancer.

"Now we have efficient treatments to reduce the multiplication levels, and this is a good and very important achievement, ten years ago starting in 1996. And now I would say most of the patients infected with HIV in the developed world have access to this kind of treatment, which is a combination of two or three drugs which act on a different side of the virus multiplication. But unfortunately there is some kind of reservoir virus which is not sensitive to this kind of treatment."
3. Photographs of Professor Montagnier with various celebrities
4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"So the problem now is to find some other kind of treatment which could also increase the restoration of the immune system, so that the virus will be controlled itself by the immune system. That's not the case right now, but this is the hope we can achieve that within a few years."
5. Cutaway of books on shelf
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"I think we should still do more research on the disease and the virus. Of course we know a lot on the virus, we know a little less on how the virus can cause the disease which is a very complex situation. It takes years actually for the virus to destroy the immune system. So I think there are some forms of the virus which escape the immune system and also will escape the vaccination, the vaccine. So we have to understand more (about) all the forms of the virus."
7. Cutaway wide
8. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"So my own feeling is that we should go step by step, and the first step will be to design a therapeutic vaccine. A vaccine which could be given to people already infected, treated by the combination therapy. Having an immune system sufficiently restored to respond to the vaccination, and the vaccination will have the effect to boost the immune system against the virus."
9. Wide shot Professor Montagnier at his desk
10. SOUNDBITE: (French) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and president of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"We also see the epidemic developing in a worrying way in Eastern Europe countries, in Ukraine and in Russia. It is also worrying. There is also China. And the most populated countries of Asia, India, China are unfortunately important reservoirs for the epidemic in the future. So we can't be satisfied and reassured because of the little slow down we see today. On the contrary we must continue informing the new generations, educating young people, try to make women avoid the infection by their partners especially in developing countries. That means progress on the economical level, on standards of living and on the homogenisation of the world economy, which is not the case now. We see some countries richer and richer and countries poorer and poorer."
11. Mid shot Professor Montagnier sitting behind desk
STORYLINE:
The French co-discover of the HIV virus, Professor Luc Montagnier, on Monday said recent achievements in the treatment of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) should not make people complacent about the very real danger of the disease.

5 People with HIV are now Virus Free - New Vaccine Treatment

Five HIV patients left 'virus-free' with no need for daily drugs in early vaccine trials. Researchers combined two new HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer. A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona.
After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months.

The HIV virus is housed inside a protective shell called a capsid. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to creating truly effective therapies to combat the virus is that no one knows the exact structure of the HIV capsid. Until now. Researchers Klaus Schulten and JuanPerilla at the University of Illinois have successfully used the power of one of the fastest supercomputers in the world to create a detailed molecular map of the HIV-1 capsid.
The study offers a first look at the structure of the HIV capsid in 8 Angstrom resolution and offers a basis for research into new pharmacological interventions that could disrupt the capsid function and perhaps derail the virus's ability to infect cells.
The researchers were able to combine experimental results from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, ele...

AIDS vaccine created at OHSU may clear virus from body

.An HIV vaccine created by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University may be able to completely wipe out the AIDS-causing virus from the body, the university announced Wednesday.The vaccine, under development at OHSU's Vaccine and Gene TherapyInstitute, is being tested by using a primate form of HIV, called SIV, which causes AIDS in monkeys.
Researchers hope an HIV-form of the vaccine candidate will soon be able to be tested in humans.
The journal Nature published the research results online Wednesday.
Dr. Louis Picker, the lab's associate director, said HIV infection has only been cured in "a very small number of highly-publicized but unusual clinical cases."
In those cases, people with HIV were treated with anti-viral medicines very early after the onset of infection or they ...

Aggressive New Strain Of Aids Virus Discovered By Scientists

A new and more aggressive strain of HIV discovered in West Africa causes significantly faster progression to AIDS, researchers at Sweden's Lund University have found.
The strain, called A3/02 was discovered in 2011 and is part of ongoing HIV/AIDS research.
So far, it has only been identified in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau and forms when two of the most common strains in the region fuse together.
The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants.
Angelica Palm, Lund University
"Individuals who are infected with the new recombinant form develop AIDS within five years," Angelica Palm, one of the scientists involved in the study, said on Thursday. "That's about two to two-and-a-half y...

\u2013 The impoverished patients who step from dirt sidewalks into the modern AIDS research clinic run by Cornell Medical College in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, are offered a seemingly simple arrangement.

That conflict is especially true in Cornell\u2019s most tantalizing research in Haiti, a study of sex partners, only one of whom is infected with the AIDS virus. Researchers, seeking clues to developing a vaccine, study the blood of both partners, particularly the uninfected ones who continue to be exposed to the virus through unprotected sex. They are trying to find out whether some people have natural protections against infection with the AIDS virus that could be replaced with a vaccine.
The Haitians are ideal research subjects, largely because they are not receiving the kind of care now standard in the world\u2019s developed countries. Condom use is low in Haiti, for cultural and other reasons.

Five HIV patients left 'virus-free' with no need for daily drugs in early vaccine trials. Researchers combined two new HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer. A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona.
After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months.
Lead scientist Beatriz Mothe said her team was “on the right path” to developing a treatment which could offer an alternative to daily antiretroviral medication (ART).
Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN.
But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives.
MitchellWarren, executive director of the Aids Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (Avac), said the study had been carried out on a small scale but its findings were “interesting and important”.
“Long-term systems that don’t require daily pill taking could really help accelerate getting 37 million people with HIV undetectable and not infectious – that would be a great opportunity to turn the tide on the epidemic,” he told The Independent.
Mr Warren said this was an example of a therapeutic vaccine, for people already infected with the disease, as opposed to preventative immunization for diseases such as polio or mumps and measles.
“The idea of a therapeutic vaccine that could provide ongoing control of the virus without having to take a pill every day would be a huge advance,” he said.
Dr. Mothe and her team gave the patients, all recently diagnosed with HIV, two vaccines designed to stimulate the production of white blood cells which can recognize and destroy cells that have been infected by the virus.
The trial participants continued to take ART for three years, while the researchers monitored their immune responses.
Then 15 of the participants received a booster dose of one of the vaccines and a cancer drug called romidepsin, which has been shown to ‘flush out’ the HIV virus from tissues where it can lie dormant.
The virus quickly returned and began to spread again in 10 of these patients, who resumed taking ART, but five of them have maintained suppression of viral load to below the limit of detection for the test, meaning they have not had to take daily drugs for a number of weeks, and in one case for seven months.
In 2015, providing ART to patients in low to middle-income countries cost $19 billion (£15 billion), according to the New Scientist, meaning huge savings could be possible if further research is successful.
More than 100,000 people are living with HIV in the UK, according to the Terrence Higgins Trust.

In a major new discovery, scientists have established how the AIDS virus attacks a human immune cell.
The new research could speed up the search for treatments, and possibly a vaccine.
It exposes new information about the virus's potential vulnerabilities and defences against the immune system.
For the first time, scientists have seen how the AIDS virus attacks a human immune cell.
These computer generated pictures show the AIDS virus at the very moment it infects a human blood cell.
Scientists have learned that H-I-V has hundreds of tiny studs covered in a sticky protein, the protein that H-I-V uses to defeat the body's natural defenses.
Scientists have hailed the discovery as a major breakthrough.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Basically, we are blind. We didn't know what we were targeting and we were shooting in the dark hoping for success. Now we can see the enemy and that allows us to target those defenses that the virus has with greater precision."
SUPERCAPTION: Dr. Joseph Sodroski, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Although researchers previously understood the process of infection in a general way they can now see precisely what happens.
Parts of that protein of the virus called GP-120 can now be easily identified
These do not change among different strains of virus around the world.
One of the difficulties in developing a way to protect against the virus has been that it mutates and changes even within one individual body so that eventually it breeches all defenses.
Scientists believe they will be able to proceed in the development of drugs that can treat people who are already infected, and make vaccines to prevent infection in people that are exposed to virus, but not yet infected.
Understanding what parts of this outer part of the virus don't change is critical to focusing efforts in both drug development and vaccine development.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well there are a few current trials of vaccines. One of them uses this GP-120 protein as a vaccine. But because the virus is so cunning and so adept at disguising this protein from the immune response, we expect that this vaccine will not be the optimal vaccine. There will be a lot of work in future years trying to modify this GP-120 protein and try to make it a better vaccine and the blueprint that we provided should help those efforts."
SUPER CAPTION: Dr. Joseph Sodroski, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The future of vaccine development for H-I-V may be entirely dependent upon modifying this protein.
And the blueprint provided should be very useful in terms of allowing scientists to logically modify this protein and improve on its properties.
More than 30 (m) million people worldwide have the AIDS virus and about 16-thousand new victims are infected every day.

"If you think about it, it's not actually that surprising just because we know the virus takes, on average, eight to ten years to cause symptoms. The fact that there was a time span of about 12 years, we are estimating between the entry of the virus and the discovery of AIDS cases, is, in retrospect, not that surprising."

STORYLINE
A new study suggests that the AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus entered the United States via Haiti, as early as 1969, probably brought in by one person.
Michael Worobey of the University of Arizona, on Tuesday explained the importance of the study, "The emergence of HIV/AIDS in the Americas and beyond," which he co-wrote.
"What we've done is shed some light on how HIV emerged out of Africa where we think it came from," Worobey said, saying Haiti was the stepping stone.
"And we put some time estimates on when those events occurred, which help us understand the pace and geographic nature of the spread of one of the most important human pandemics."

.An HIV vaccine created by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University may be able to completely wipe out the AIDS-causing virus from the body, the university announced Wednesday.The vaccine, under development at OHSU's Vaccine and Gene TherapyInstitute, is being tested by using a primate form of HIV, called SIV, which causes AIDS in monkeys.
Researchers hope an HIV-form of the vaccine candidate will soon be able to be tested in humans.
The journal Nature published the research results online Wednesday.
Dr. Louis Picker, the lab's associate director, said HIV infection has only been cured in "a very small number of highly-publicized but unusual clinical cases."
In those cases, people with HIV were treated with anti-viral medicines very early after the onset of infection or they received a stem cell transplant to combat cancer.
"This latest research suggests that certain immune responses elicited by a new vaccine may also have the ability to completely remove HIV from the body," Picker said.
The approach uses cytomegalovirus, or CMV, which is a common virus that doctors said is carried by a large percentage of the population. Pairing it with SIV had a unique effect, researchers found, and SIV-infected cells were sought out and destroyed.
Researchers said they were able to teach the monkey's body to better prepare its defenses to combat SIV, and they're hoping their modified CMV will have a similar result in humans.
"What we've shown is that not only does this vaccine control the infection, but it actually eliminates the virus from the body of the monkey," Picker said.
Grants from several organizations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, are funding OHSU's research.

A new and more aggressive strain of HIV discovered in West Africa causes significantly faster progression to AIDS, researchers at Sweden's Lund University have found.
The strain, called A3/02 was discovered in 2011 and is part of ongoing HIV/AIDS research.
So far, it has only been identified in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau and forms when two of the most common strains in the region fuse together.
The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants.
Angelica Palm, Lund University
"Individuals who are infected with the new recombinant form develop AIDS within five years," Angelica Palm, one of the scientists involved in the study, said on Thursday. "That's about two to two-and-a-half years faster than one of the parent (strains).
Research shows that recombinant strains, those created when different DNA combines, are a cause for concern.
"There have been some studies that indicate that whenever there is a so-called recombinant, it seems to be more competent or aggressive than the parental strains," said Palm.
There are two main types of the HIV virus: HIV-1 and HIV-2 with HIV-1 being the most common. But within those two categories, there are numerous subtypes. The HIV virus can even mutate inside an infected person, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
But the scientists reassured patients that existing drugs will still effectively treat the new strain regardless of the speed at which it develops into AIDS.
"The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants," said Palm.
Other strains
A person goes from having HIV to AIDS when his or her white CD4 cell count, a white bloodcell that helps fight infection, drops below 200, according to the Mayo Clinic.
An estimated 35.5 million people around the world live with HIV, a virus that destroys the immune system and often leads to complications like pneumonia, tuberculosis,diarrhoea and tumours, according to the WHO.
But while the study only found the new strain in West Africa, scientists warn that other rapidly developing strains probably exist in regions like Europe and the US, where there are high levels of immigration.
"It is highly likely that there are a large number of circulating recombinants of which we know little or nothing," said Patrik Medstrand, professor of clinical virology at Lund University.

Virology Lectures 2017 #23: HIV and AIDS

The HIV-1 pandemic originated from crossovers of simian viruses from chimps and gorillas to humans. From four separate crossover events emerged viruses that have infected and killed millions. In this lecture we consider the origin of HIV, how it was discovered, the pathogenesis of infection, and prospects for prevention.

The Real Creation Of The HIV/AIDS Virus!

Peter Duesberg - The Invention of AIDS

Peter Duesberg - The Invention of AIDSNovember 13, 2011
One of the leading voices in the movement opposing the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is Dr. PeterDuesberg, a renowned virologist with a PhD in chemistry, currently working at the University of California in Berkley. He and other scientists have put their reputations on the line in order to pose some fundamental questions. While not questioning the existence of AIDS but rather the means through which it is acquired, he says that there is still no hard proof that HIV is responsible for AIDS. In this interview, Peter will explain how he came to this conclusion according to his research. We'll discuss the mysterious and confusing aspects of the virus. Also, we talk about the term HIV, the virus latency period, what happens after infection and t...

Peter Duesberg - Inventing The AID$ Virus

a recorded interview on TurnSpeak featuring Dr. PeterDuesberg, author of "Inventing the AIDS Virus." Duesberg discusses what he calls the "conspiracy of self-interest" that keeps the faulty HIV=AIDS hypothesis alive, why Gallo and others could never admit to making a mistake, the scientific reasons why HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS and AIDS is not a contagious disease, the ridiculous logic used in the Kimberly Bergalis/Dr. Acer case, and what happened with Brian Ellison about the publishing of "Inventing The AIDS Virus." Duesberg also gives a fascinating description about how science in America has become totally centralized and "communistic," and a brief discourse on his current research in finding the cause of cancer.

Therefore, Peter tells us how lifestyle is the major cause of this virus, not a contagion. Later, we talk about the incentives within AIDS research, the drugs used to treat it, the vaccine and why AIDS research is going nowhere.

In this clip 10 scientific arguments are presented why HIV cannot cause AIDS. Arguments/questions that haven't been answered till today. Dr. Duesberg is not alone. Top scientists and Nobel Prize winners agree with him, like: dr. Rasnick, that discovered the protease inhibitors that are being used as HIV drugs. Dr Mullis a nobel prize winner, invented the PCR, the method being used to detect viruses (including HIV). Richard Strohman, professor at the department of Cell Biology in University of California, Berkeley. Nobel prize winner dr. Walter Gilbert from Harvard University and dr. Charles Thomas, a Molecular Biologist and former Professor of Biochemistry at Harvard University.
Those scientists claim that whoever doesn't support the hypothesis that HIV causes AIDS gets no funding for his research, so young scientists don't even dare to oppose the HIV=AIDS hypothesis anymore. Dr Duesberg even calls them "prostitutes".

More than three decades on from its first outbreak, HIV/AIDS remains a prevalent killer, even in the developed world, and a pressing scientific challenge to understand and treat. The rate of infection, especially among young people, is increasing, and in parts of Africa in particular, it remains an epidemic-scale killer. Yet a cure could be just around the corner, and scientists are optimistic that the virus’ days might be numbered. Is HIV here to stay, or will it be consigned to history like Smallpox?

a recorded interview on TurnSpeak featuring Dr. PeterDuesberg, author of "Inventing the AIDS Virus." Duesberg discusses what he calls the "conspiracy of self-interest" that keeps the faulty HIV=AIDS hypothesis alive, why Gallo and others could never admit to making a mistake, the scientific reasons why HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS and AIDS is not a contagious disease, the ridiculous logic used in the Kimberly Bergalis/Dr. Acer case, and what happened with Brian Ellison about the publishing of "Inventing The AIDS Virus." Duesberg also gives a fascinating description about how science in America has become totally centralized and "communistic," and a brief discourse on his current research in finding the cause of cancer.

STORYLINE
A new study suggests that the AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus entered the United States via Haiti, as early as 1969, probably brought in by one person.
Michael Worobey of the University of Arizona, on Tuesday explained the importance of the study, "The emergence of HIV/AIDS in the Americas and beyond," which he co-wrote.
"What we've done is shed some light on how HIV emerged out of Africa where we think it came from," Worobey said, saying Haiti was the stepping stone.
"And we put some time estimates on when those events occurred, which help us understand the pace and geographic nature of the spread of one of the most important human pandemics."

"Now we have efficient treatments to reduce the multiplication levels, and this is a good and very important achievement, ten years ago starting in 1996. And now I would say most of the patients infected with HIV in the developed world have access to this kind of treatment, which is a combination of two or three drugs which act on a different side of the virus multiplication. But unfortunately there is some kind of reservoir virus which is not sensitive to this kind of treatment."

4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"So the problem now is to find some other kind of treatment which could also increase the restoration of the immune system, so that the virus will be controlled itself by the immune system. That's not the case right now, but this is the hope we can achieve that within a few years."

6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"I think we should still do more research on the disease and the virus. Of course we know a lot on the virus, we know a little less on how the virus can cause the disease which is a very complex situation. It takes years actually for the virus to destroy the immune system. So I think there are some forms of the virus which escape the immune system and also will escape the vaccination, the vaccine. So we have to understand more (about) all the forms of the virus."

"So my own feeling is that we should go step by step, and the first step will be to design a therapeutic vaccine. A vaccine which could be given to people already infected, treated by the combination therapy. Having an immune system sufficiently restored to respond to the vaccination, and the vaccination will have the effect to boost the immune system against the virus."

"We also see the epidemic developing in a worrying way in Eastern Europe countries, in Ukraine and in Russia. It is also worrying. There is also China. And the most populated countries of Asia, India, China are unfortunately important reservoirs for the epidemic in the future. So we can't be satisfied and reassured because of the little slow down we see today. On the contrary we must continue informing the new generations, educating young people, try to make women avoid the infection by their partners especially in developing countries. That means progress on the economical level, on standards of living and on the homogenisation of the world economy, which is not the case now. We see some countries richer and richer and countries poorer and poorer."

thical Case Study - Research and Medicine Collide in Haiti Background

thical CaseStudy - Research and MedicineCollide in HaitiBackground:
(
New York Times,
6 June 1999
)
\u2013 The impoverished patients who step from dirt sidewalks into the modern AIDS research clinic run by Cornell Medical College in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, are offered a seemingly simple arrangement.
\u201cWe would like to test your blood because you live in an area where AIDS may be common.\u201d The English version of the clinic\u2019s consent form reads. \u201cWe will provide you with medicine if you fall sick and cannot afford such care.\u201d
But the transaction is not as straightforward as it sounds. Many Haitians who visit the clinic are at once patients and subjects of United States-financed medical research, and circumstances that are bad for their health are sometimes best for research results.
That conflict is especially true in Cornell\u2019s most tantalizing research in Haiti, a study of sex partners, only one of whom is infected with the AIDS virus. Researchers, seeking clues to developing a vaccine, study the blood of both partners, particularly the uninfected ones who continue to be exposed to the virus through unprotected sex. They are trying to find out whether some people have natural protections against infection with the AIDS virus that could be replaced with a vaccine.
The Haitians are ideal research subjects, largely because they are not receiving the kind of care now standard in the world\u2019s developed countries. Condom use is low in Haiti, for cultural and other reasons. Anti-retroviral drugs that are successful at suppressing the virus are unavailable except to the very wealthy, and are not included in Cornell\u2019s promise to provide medicine.
Nearly 20 years after Cornell opened the clinic, it provides some of the best AIDS treatment available in a country devastated by the epidemic, fighting the myriad illnesses that result from AIDS. But that is a lower standard of care than patients receive routinely at American institutions, including the hospital affiliated with Cornell i

5 People with HIV are now Virus Free - New Vaccine Treatment

Five HIV patients left 'virus-free' with no need for daily drugs in early vaccine trials. Researchers combined two new HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer. A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona.
After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months.
Lead scientist Beatriz Mothe said her team was “on the right path” to developing a treatment which could offer an alternative to daily antiretroviral medication (ART).
Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN.
But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives.
MitchellWarren, executive director of the Aids Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (Avac), said the study had been carried out on a small scale but its findings were “interesting and important”.
“Long-term systems that don’t require daily pill taking could really help accelerate getting 37 million people with HIV undetectable and not infectious – that would be a great opportunity to turn the tide on the epidemic,” he told The Independent.
Mr Warren said this was an example of a therapeutic vaccine, for people already infected with the disease, as opposed to preventative immunization for diseases such as polio or mumps and measles.
“The idea of a therapeutic vaccine that could provide ongoing control of the virus without having to take a pill every day would be a huge advance,” he said.
Dr. Mothe and her team gave the patients, all recently diagnosed with HIV, two vaccines designed to stimulate the production of white blood cells which can recognize and destroy cells that have been infected by the virus.
The trial participants continued to take ART for three years, while the researchers monitored their immune responses.
Then 15 of the participants received a booster dose of one of the vaccines and a cancer drug called romidepsin, which has been shown to ‘flush out’ the HIV virus from tissues where it can lie dormant.
The virus quickly returned and began to spread again in 10 of these patients, who resumed taking ART, but five of them have maintained suppression of viral load to below the limit of detection for the test, meaning they have not had to take daily drugs for a number of weeks, and in one case for seven months.
In 2015, providing ART to patients in low to middle-income countries cost $19 billion (£15 billion), according to the New Scientist, meaning huge savings could be possible if further research is successful.
More than 100,000 people are living with HIV in the UK, according to the Terrence Higgins Trust.

"Now we have efficient treatments to reduce the multiplication levels, and this is a good and very important achievement, ten years ago starting in 1996. And now I would say most of the patients infected with HIV in the developed world have access to this kind of treatment, which is a combination of two or three drugs which act on a different side of the virus multiplication. But unfortunately there is some kind of reservoir virus which is not sensitive to this kind of treatment."

4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"So the problem now is to find some other kind of treatment which could also increase the restoration of the immune system, so that the virus will be controlled itself by the immune system. That's not the case right now, but this is the hope we can achieve that within a few years."

6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"I think we should still do more research on the disease and the virus. Of course we know a lot on the virus, we know a little less on how the virus can cause the disease which is a very complex situation. It takes years actually for the virus to destroy the immune system. So I think there are some forms of the virus which escape the immune system and also will escape the vaccination, the vaccine. So we have to understand more (about) all the forms of the virus."

8. SOUNDBITE: (English) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and President of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"So my own feeling is that we should go step by step, and the first step will be to design a therapeutic vaccine. A vaccine which could be given to people already infected, treated by the combination therapy. Having an immune system sufficiently restored to respond to the vaccination, and the vaccination will have the effect to boost the immune system against the virus."
9. Wide shot Professor Montagnier at his desk
10. SOUNDBITE: (French) Professor Luc Montagnier, co-discoverer of the HIV virus and president of the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention at the UNESCO:
"We also see the epidemic developing in a worrying way in Eastern Europe countries, in Ukraine and in Russia. It is also worrying. There is also China. And the most populated countries of Asia, India, China are unfortunately important reservoirs for the epidemic in the future. So we can't be satisfied and reassured because of the little slow down we see today. On the contrary we must continue informing the new generations, educating young people, try to make women avoid the infection by their partners especially in developing countries. That means progress on the economical level, on standards of living and on the homogenisation of the world economy, which is not the case now. We see some countries richer and richer and countries poorer and poorer."

STORYLINE:
The French co-discover of the HIV virus, Professor Luc Montagnier, on Monday said recent achievements in the treatment of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) should not make people complacent about the very real danger of the disease.

USA: SCIENTISTS LEARN HOW AIDS VIRUS ATTACKS A HUMAN IMMUNE CELL

English/Nat
In a major new discovery, scientists have established how the AIDS virus attacks a human immune cell.
The new research could speed up the search for treatments, and possibly a vaccine.
It exposes new information about the virus's potential vulnerabilities and defences against the immune system.
For the first time, scientists have seen how the AIDS virus attacks a human immune cell.
These computer generated pictures show the AIDS virus at the very moment it infects a human blood cell.
Scientists have learned that H-I-V has hundreds of tiny studs covered in a sticky protein, the protein that H-I-V uses to defeat the body's natural defenses.
Scientists have hailed the discovery as a major breakthrough.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Basically, we are blind. We didn't know what we were targeting and we were shooting in the dark hoping for success. Now we can see the enemy and that allows us to target those defenses that the virus has with greater precision."
SUPERCAPTION: Dr. Joseph Sodroski, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Although researchers previously understood the process of infection in a general way they can now see precisely what happens.
Parts of that protein of the virus called GP-120 can now be easily identified
These do not change among different strains of virus around the world.
One of the difficulties in developing a way to protect against the virus has been that it mutates and changes even within one individual body so that eventually it breeches all defenses.
Scientists believe they will be able to proceed in the development of drugs that can treat people who are already infected, and make vaccines to prevent infection in people that are exposed to virus, but not yet infected.
Understanding what parts of this outer part of the virus don't change is critical to focusing efforts in both drug development and vaccine development.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well there are a few current trials of vaccines. One of them uses this GP-120 protein as a vaccine. But because the virus is so cunning and so adept at disguising this protein from the immune response, we expect that this vaccine will not be the optimal vaccine. There will be a lot of work in future years trying to modify this GP-120 protein and try to make it a better vaccine and the blueprint that we provided should help those efforts."
SUPER CAPTION: Dr. Joseph Sodroski, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The future of vaccine development for H-I-V may be entirely dependent upon modifying this protein.
And the blueprint provided should be very useful in terms of allowing scientists to logically modify this protein and improve on its properties.
More than 30 (m) million people worldwide have the AIDS virus and about 16-thousand new victims are infected every day.

STORYLINE
A new study suggests that the AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus entered the United States via Haiti, as early as 1969, probably brought in by one person.
Michael Worobey of the University of Arizona, on Tuesday explained the importance of the study, "The emergence of HIV/AIDS in the Americas and beyond," which he co-wrote.
"What we've done is shed some light on how HIV emerged out of Africa where we think it came from," Worobey said, saying Haiti was the stepping stone.
"And we put some time estimates on when those events occurred, which help us understand the pace and geographic nature of the spread of one of the most important human pandemics."

AIDS vaccine created at OHSU may clear virus from body

.An HIV vaccine created by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University may be able to completely wipe out the AIDS-causing virus from the body, the university announced Wednesday.The vaccine, under development at OHSU's Vaccine and Gene TherapyInstitute, is being tested by using a primate form of HIV, called SIV, which causes AIDS in monkeys.
Researchers hope an HIV-form of the vaccine candidate will soon be able to be tested in humans.
The journal Nature published the research results online Wednesday.
Dr. Louis Picker, the lab's associate director, said HIV infection has only been cured in "a very small number of highly-publicized but unusual clinical cases."
In those cases, people with HIV were treated with anti-viral medicines very early after the onset of infection or they received a stem cell transplant to combat cancer.
"This latest research suggests that certain immune responses elicited by a new vaccine may also have the ability to completely remove HIV from the body," Picker said.
The approach uses cytomegalovirus, or CMV, which is a common virus that doctors said is carried by a large percentage of the population. Pairing it with SIV had a unique effect, researchers found, and SIV-infected cells were sought out and destroyed.
Researchers said they were able to teach the monkey's body to better prepare its defenses to combat SIV, and they're hoping their modified CMV will have a similar result in humans.
"What we've shown is that not only does this vaccine control the infection, but it actually eliminates the virus from the body of the monkey," Picker said.
Grants from several organizations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, are funding OHSU's research.

Aggressive New Strain Of Aids Virus Discovered By Scientists

A new and more aggressive strain of HIV discovered in West Africa causes significantly faster progression to AIDS, researchers at Sweden's Lund University have found.
The strain, called A3/02 was discovered in 2011 and is part of ongoing HIV/AIDS research.
So far, it has only been identified in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau and forms when two of the most common strains in the region fuse together.
The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants.
Angelica Palm, Lund University
"Individuals who are infected with the new recombinant form develop AIDS within five years," Angelica Palm, one of the scientists involved in the study, said on Thursday. "That's about two to two-and-a-half years faster than one of the parent (strains).
Research shows that recombinant strains, those created when different DNA combines, are a cause for concern.
"There have been some studies that indicate that whenever there is a so-called recombinant, it seems to be more competent or aggressive than the parental strains," said Palm.
There are two main types of the HIV virus: HIV-1 and HIV-2 with HIV-1 being the most common. But within those two categories, there are numerous subtypes. The HIV virus can even mutate inside an infected person, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
But the scientists reassured patients that existing drugs will still effectively treat the new strain regardless of the speed at which it develops into AIDS.
"The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants," said Palm.
Other strains
A person goes from having HIV to AIDS when his or her white CD4 cell count, a white bloodcell that helps fight infection, drops below 200, according to the Mayo Clinic.
An estimated 35.5 million people around the world live with HIV, a virus that destroys the immune system and often leads to complications like pneumonia, tuberculosis,diarrhoea and tumours, according to the WHO.
But while the study only found the new strain in West Africa, scientists warn that other rapidly developing strains probably exist in regions like Europe and the US, where there are high levels of immigration.
"It is highly likely that there are a large number of circulating recombinants of which we know little or nothing," said Patrik Medstrand, professor of clinical virology at Lund University.

Virology Lectures 2017 #23: HIV and AIDS

The HIV-1 pandemic originated from crossovers of simian viruses from chimps and gorillas to humans. From four separate crossover events emerged viruses that have infected and killed millions. In this lecture we consider the origin of HIV, how it was discovered, the pathogenesis of infection, and prospects for prevention.
